Detroit police have released a photo of a man they are calling a person of interest in a fatal shooting that happened early Friday morning.

Police say a man's body was discovered in the street on Edgevale and John R, just north of McNichols. 

The scene is just yards from the wings of Love Missionary Baptist Church where a Crime Stoppers sign hangs outside. 

A Crime Stoppers volunteer who lives in a house next to the church says it is heartbreaking to see a murder scene so close. 

"We here to help. So if it will help you to get a reward come get it. We just need information to get closure for somebody’s family. Somebody has to bury this person under this sheet.  Lets give them closure. 1-800-SPEAK-UP. You will remain anonymous. I promise you that. You will remain anonymous," said neighbor O.J. Jackson. 

If anyone recognizes the person in the photo above, please call police at 313-596-2260.
